For Sale? No. This project describes a 50-year strategy for the city of Detroit and state of Michigan to become an empire. Utilizing the latest advancements in genetic- and bio-engineering, the inhabitants are proposed to invest in large infrastructural urban and suburban commercial farming. These towers for crop production will be conjoined with water and nutrient storage pods, both organically grown in Detroit with roots stretching throughout the city to the Detroit River and Lake Saint Clair. Disseminated along all the Great Lakes...

For Sale? No. This installation was a continuation and implementation of the concepts of the Balcony Project experiments. Designed to occupy the large open space in the historic Farmer’s and Merchants Bank building in downtown Los Angeles, it functioned as a canopy and screen for the guests at the annual Main Event 7. The installation uses a custom recursive algorithm to deploy equilateral triangles into a configuration to find optimal positions via CNC-milled nodes. 0001d developed all the software to design, fabricate, mill, and...

For Sale? No. This project combines advanced parametric modeling techniques with scripted approaches for optimization of complex curvatures. The goal was to be able to take any blobby surface and rationalize it to a high percentage of standard sized panels. The algorithm would recursively cycle through the NURBS geometry until most of its surface area could be replaced with equilateral triangle panels. This particular iteration of the script [aka, the Balcony Project] allowed the construction of the project with 71% and 82% of the total...

For Sale? No. The design of this beach house involved algorithmic techniques that combined emergent cellular communication and transformation with evolutionary breeding optimization. Thousands of generations of cells were executed in conjunction with a mechanism for automating automation (scripts writing scripts). Each cell shares the identical numerical “DNA” but due to environmental, emergent, and internal mutators, the cells develop individually. Also, they gradually transform from the single simple cell, to individual...

For Sale? No. Objective: To grow intelligent organs in intelligent bodies from identical digital stem cells without linear array set or post-processing. Investigating the potential 7-dimensional BIM, this project establishes an ever-changing search space in which to employ a stratification of sculpted numerical and geometrical randomness in a resonant eugenic single-celled generative automation. This stem-cell recursively duplicates, splits, and mutates under multi-dimensional distortion while self-mutilating to isolate regional topological...

0001d has been a pioneer of automated emergent programming. Emergence is the natural phenomenon where the simple actions of small agents aggregates to a smarter, greater, or counter-intuitive whole. Beginning in the early 2000’s, we’ve developed methodologies to implement emergence via deploying simple codes on individual components and allowing the agents to generate their own architectural structures. These assemblies construct networks, nodal connections (columns) and planar connections (walls and slabs), along with voids for...

0001D’s oeuvre employs a distinct formal language that deviates from the contemporary architectural movement. Instead of continuous subdivision- or spline-based stylistic language, 0001D is based on the concept of interconnected cells, and how they behave with each other to generate space, structure, and form. Most of 0001D’s designs start with simple cellular globs, that are allowed to evolve or grow into their final design configurations. We establish environments and mutation criteria that mold the design instead of...
